Mikkel suggested: "Try using  ipp://saturn:631/<printer name>."

Ok. I may be getting somewhere. From saturn where the printer is, I 
brought up the cups interface and looked at the printer. From the server, 
it tells me that the URI is 
beh:/1/10/60/parallel:/dev/lp0

[root at saturn archive]# lpstat -t
scheduler is running
system default destination: hp-1320
device for hp-1320: beh:/1/10/60/parallel:/dev/lp0
hp-1320 accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00
printer hp-1320 is idle.  enabled since Jan 01 00:00
        Sending print file, 24803 bytes...
[root at saturn archive]# 

When I look at the URI that is used by pluto to acces the printer on 
saturn, I see this:

ipp://saturn/printers/hp-1320

[root at pluto ~]# lpstat -t
scheduler is running
system default destination: hp-1320-saturn
device for hp-1320-saturn: ipp://saturn:631/printers/hp-1320
hp-1320-saturn accepting requests since Wed 05 Sep 2007 12:47:10 PM EDT
printer hp-1320-saturn is idle.  enabled since Wed 05 Sep 2007 12:47:10 PM 
EDT
[root at pluto ~]# 

Is there something obvious I'm missing here?

The problem is that when I print from pluto the job enqueues but then just 
sits there.

Try using  ipp://saturn:631/<printer name>.
